    It sounds like it may have been made from one of the kits that were poppular then. You might try googling Kansas City Star quilot patterns. That was a newspaper that was famous for the quilt patterns they gave away or sold very inexpensively.

    Hello Claire. I have this pattern but don't think it's from the 30's. You might try Google, University of Nebraska Quilt Museum to do a search.

    Try your public library because they always have a lot of quilting books. Good looking.

    Welcome from The Great State of Tennessee!

    YOu might want to find a copy of the book of Carrie Hall's pattern collection. She was an old time quilter. If yu could sketch the pattern, ever roughly, we might could help you find it.

    Good uck

    Here's an eBay seller (store) that has a ton of vintage Kansas Star patterns very reasonably priced (23 for $6 in most cases).

    http://stores.ebay.com/Effies-Quilt-Shop

    Also, if you Google Old Newspaper Quilt Patterns, you'll get a bunch of hits. Have fun exploring!
